Still on the Grinch subject, Brian Grazer (producer) told recently EW Online that he and the film’s director, Ron Howard, had considered actually using the original narration done by Boris Karloff for the classic TV cartoon. Grazer says that they finally decided against doing so, because "we didn't want to create a bridge for comparison between the two." Other possible narrators that have been casually discussed include Kevin Spacey and Busta Rhymes.
